Anyone who no longer wishes to travel can claim refunds, though tickets for the affected date will also be valid for Friday, January 27, and Sunday, January 29.
Avanti has cited the “exceptional amounts of leave being taken this month, together with staff training which couldn’t be postponed.”It also says that the situation has been “made worse” by strike days and their subsequent effect on scheduled leave and training.
